"Carmine is a great, honest guy that did an amazing job repairing my foundation wall. I had an old window buried underground that was not properly sealed and leaking water to the basement. Carmine and his team carefully removed the old window and old bricks then properly sealed with concrete blocks and cement. He gave me a fantastic price and finished the job quickly. He also suggested to add an exterior French drain which he installed in a few hours as a secondary defense to remove water from the foundation. I highly recommend Carmine and plan to hire him again for some additional projects."

"The landscaping came out beautiful. When you hire Starkie Bros. you get the platinum package every time. We used them 21 years ago to do the pavers and landscape around the pool in the yard. We were extremely happy then as we are now. He even had several of the same workers and they remembered working on our yard. He also did our front walkway in pavers a couple of years ago. I would definitely recommend John Starkie!"

"I dealt with John and Dave. They were always very punctual, the proposal was specific it clearly stated what they would be doing, the size of the septic tank, overflow, main line and the cost. It was all done to code. They were polite, responsive and answered all my questions even after the work was completed, I wish I would have realized or been told how extensive the area that was disturbed would be. I would have removed more of the plants."

"Peter was professional throughout the process. He arrived promptly, provided a fair price . Scope included a repointing o f front stoop of pavers. Work was completed in workmanlike manner. Quality performance and first rate. Just what any customer would expect. I highly recommend Five Star."

"Great company, did great work, I already reached out to them about my next project!"

"They were very professional, arrived on time. They cleaned up when they were done."

"Excellent job, all work expertly done and met all promises. Work done on time and went above and beyond. Even did some work that was not part of the project. Would gladly recommend."

The Junk in My Trunk crew called us early on the day of the appointment to let us know when they would arrive and to confirm directions.  They showed up when they were expected and cleared out all the unwanted items in the house.  They were cooperative and cordial throughout the process, and cleared out items including mattresses, sofas and couches, and a refrigerator that was in the basement.  They filled every inch of the 12-yard truck and as a result I felt that I got very good value for the price.  I would not hesitate to use this service again or recommend them.

"I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have a pool excavation done in my backyard! From start to finish, the entire process exceeded my expectations. Steven was prompt, professional, and incredibly skilled. Steve and his team took great care to ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding area and completed the project on time. The excavation itself was impressive—everything was done with precision, and the site was left clean and tidy afterward. It’s amazing to see how much more space I have now, and I’m already making plans for how I’ll transform the area. Whether it’s for a new landscape, outdoor seating, or just more room to enjoy my backyard, I feel like the possibilities are endless. If you’re considering pool excavation or any type of excavation job I highly recommend high idle excavation It’s a game changer for your outdoor space, and I’m so glad I took the leap!"
